It is possible. The 2 needle valves should be identical. VW used 2
different sizes between the bug and the T-3. One was marked 1.2 and the
other was marked 1.5. Also, check the thickness of the sealing washers
under the needle valves. There is a specific thickness for them. I will
have to see if I can find more info.
